Awkward

The lengths I'll go to for my current, undying craving for sour Jelly Bellys. First, I call the Chevron station. {normal people call gas stations all the time to quiz them on the status of their candy stock} They got nothin'. So I call Albertsons and Wal-mart. Both store's associates equally amused that they get to traipse down the isles hunting for my food-choice-of-the-day. Turns out, they got nothin' either. So now I'm getting desperate. Which is usually the part when Amazon pops into my brain. Amazon ends up rocking it in the Jelly Belly department, and I seriously consider the pros and cons of purchasing a 5 lb case of delightfulness. I think about husband's face when he finds out about the extraordinary plan I came up with, and I decide that I better think a little more. And that's when things got really serious -- I went to Jelly Belly dot com. That's right, www.jellybelly.com. I am ashamed.
But I was delivered! Because Jelly Belly dot com has this special thing where if you type in your zip code, you can find out where all the little Jelly Bellys are hiding from you! And I FOUND ONE. One whole bag just for me. At a craft store.*now would be an appropriate time for applause. or yaaay sydney's

The grocery bag husband brought home chucked to the brim with broccoli. I'm going to be peeing green for the rest of my life. *also an appropriate time for applause and yaaay sydney's

That I can't tell whether it's baby or my chicken nuggets kicking me in the stomach. Probably the chicken nuggets.

Running into new friends while looking fabulous. "Hey! You're that one blog girl! I almost didn't recognize you in that huge Yellowstone t-shirt with chocolate on the front of it. With your hair like that ..." SO. For all those living in the vicinity -- how about we just keep those expectations at an all time low. With no signs of rising anytime in the near future. Sound good? Perfect. {or as our dear bachelorette would say, per-FACT}

Awesome

Iced herbal sun tea - yum!

My new green Hunters that are on their way! You convincing devils ...

Did you know that vegetarian dinners are actually really filling? Holy Smanoley - tomatoes and greens baby. and salt and pepper - the other major food group.

Is that your pee pee dance, girl? hehe It looks very familiar :) I love these posts of yours. I find myself making mental notes of the awkward things throughout my day. "Oh, that'd be a funny one to tell everybody" Cheeseballs, I know. I'll jump on the A+A Thursdays here in a minute. Thanks for the idea. xoxo

You are totally GLOWING in these photos. I love it. You're look FAB. That's right, I said it. & I don't mind the food talk. I may not be pregnant, but I feel like I am with all of this food I'm drooling over and ingesting at lightning speed.

You are so pretty! I love that you're finally getting hunters and you found your jelly bellys. I actually have your broccoli problem with asparagus. Anyway, the only time I see people I know (besides church, b/c that's a given) is when I'm wearing the same thing I wore yesterday and am in need of a shower.

I am proud of your jelly belly tenaciousness. but then again, i paid $50 to get the VIP tour of the jelly belly factory because i love them so much (hey, there were bean samples involved!) so maybe i'm biased.

I hear you on the Jelly Belly's - I too CRAVED them when I was pregnant! And regular Jelly Belly's would not do - they HAD to be SOUR!!! It's crazy right? I say go for the bulk order (or if there is a Target nearby, they have a Jelly Belly "wall of bliss" - LOL!

They will tell you what local stores have them? That's awesome! You need a target, they usually have them in bulk. I went to the factory last month and am so sick of them, because between 6 of us we bought 12 pounds. Darn those cheap belly flops!

mmmm, makes me want to buy a maxi skirt. After becoming a new fan a few days ago, making my first bun on a tutorial with lipstain on in my bed at 1030...MY poor husband. I also read him the awesome and awkward things that happen to you. This time I just made him listen to running into the "blog girl" - as he walked out the door shaking his head I ran after him and said "SHE WATCHES THE BACHELORETTE, TOO!!!" I think we WILL be friends.

heyyyy girl! - sorry i haven't been around much - been so busy with my Mom (cancer) ... i didn't know u were preggers - CONGRATS - i ALWAYS enjoy coming by here and seeing what ur wearing and the funny things u got to say ...

HAhaha I laughed at the big yellow Tshirt comment. I had someone at the mall recognize me from YouTube while I was walking around with a bun on top of my head, no makeup and breaking out. I felt really sexy and confident too.....

I love your sweater thing.I am not sure what it is called.Your bump is cute!and so are you!I am about to go and do this on my blog.First time!And I got some awkward stuff. :)So I'll be having fun.have you had broccoli stir-fried?it is the best!Sierra

I don't know how you're still rocking belts! Once I neared the end of my 1st trimester, I couldn't belt anything anymore. If I loosened it enough to feel comfortable while sitting down, it would fall to my hips when I stood up. I was constantly adjusting so I just gave up.

Look how cute you are! I have been traveling and so busy I havn't done my blog hopping. I told some friends about you today and clicked to see that you had a bump...I missed the announcement, congrats!

Don't feel guilty about the Hunters, girl! I bought myself a pair back in December 2010 after moving to Boston, and I wore them for like two months straight this Winter when the ground was slush city. Definitely worth the money, my friend!

P.S. I love your jelly belly story! That sounds like something I would do. Back in high school I used to drive to this Hobby Lobby 20 minutes from my house because it was the only place that sold my favorite pink wintergreen candy!

Sour Jelly Bellys are the besttt! And I once did order a 5 lb. box of Gobstopper hearts (the ones they only sell around Valentine's Day) on Amazon because I just HAD to have them! Ha. Then two weeks later they showed up...

I love the jelly belly thing, You know you can visit the jelly belly factory where you can take a free tour and taste any kind you want and buy bags of irregular jelly bellys on the cheap. Sooo..think about that for your next get-a-way huh?

Do I get to say yaaay Syd now? Because, seriously, that jelly bean story made my day. And for reals, what's up with craft stores these days? You go in for paint and all you can find are ribbons, bedazzling jewels, and bubbles. because I plan to paint my room with bubbles and shiney stuff, thank you.

You are glowing in that third picture, and it really did make me smile. You look adorable!

Hahahha oh the jelly beans. That's actually really cool that they have a jelly bean.com that will locate jelly beans in your area interesting. LOVE this outfit that vest is great. I have those same compulsions where if I wants something I literally call everywhere until I can find it... uy hahha

i love your awesome and awkward thursdays, i always look forward to them! and i'm all about your style, i totally get inspired every time i visit your blog.i would be so flattered if you stopped by my humble blog :)www.delightfulbybridget.blogspot.com

So I'm officially going to place bets on you having a boy. Why? Because you are craving sour! I have an awesome 6-month-old baby boy and I craved anything and everything sour when I was pregnant with him. I was a cheer coach last summer & raided all of my girls' rooms at cheer camp for something sour to eat! Are you finding out the gender? We didn't but I knew he was a boy all along :o)! Good luck!

Wonder website. I like so much your blog.your blog is very helpful for me. And her dress is very nice and she is looking so cute. She has a nice personality and nice dress outfit. Thanks for join with us.Mannequins Paris

Oh my heavens! you're a bust up! But I totally get it! I just had a baby in Feb. and for the last two months of my pregnancy I had to have tropical Mike and ikes and skinny cow drumsticks EVERY SINGLE DAY. One day walmart had mike and ikes on sale so i think i bought about 10 boxes at once (i'm now paying the consequences)!

also, an Awkward Tuesday for you: i've been too busy at work to keep up blog-readin' lately, and just had to frantically scroll back several pages to find your original bump announcement. i was all "WHAT? HOW DID I MISS THIS?! IS SHE JUST SUPER SNEAKY?!"
